Job Description

Power Electronics Engineer

Oxford

Ampere Recruitment is working exclusively with a high-growth, IP-led power electronics business to find a talented Power Electronics Engineer for a pivotal role within their engineering team.

The Role

This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary position at the heart of a small, high-calibre team translating cutting-edge power electronics IP into robust, manufacturable products. Suited to engineers who thrive in fast-paced environments, the role spans architecture through to testing and customer deployment with direct influence over technical decisions, product direction, and future IP development.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing, building, testing and validating advanced power conversion systems
• Contributing to major projects spanning electrical, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing disciplines
• Taking ownership of subsystems and contributing to overall system architecture
• Developing and executing rigorous test plans covering validation, reliability, and compliance (EMC, thermal, lifetime testing)
• Collaborating with customers and partners to integrate technology into real-world applications
• Contributing to the generation and protection of intellectual property
• Keeping pace with the latest developments in power electronics and adjacent technologies

What We're Looking For

Essential

• MEng (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related discipline
• 2+ years of relevant industry experience
• Demonstrable track record in technical design, simulation, and experimental validation across analogue and digital electronic systems
• Proficiency in electronic design and PCB layout, including rapid prototyping and design iteration
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a willingness to take ownership and move quickly

Desirable

• Hands-on experience designing, building, and testing power electronic circuits and systems
• Experience with electrical systems operating above 600VDC
• Microcontroller software experience relevant to power electronics control (e.g. bare-metal C at loop frequencies above 10kHz)
• Mechanical design skills and familiarity with CAD tools such as SolidWorks or Fusion360
• Exposure to compliance and certification processes (EMC, safety standards)
